Fisheries of the Exclusive Economic 

Zone Off Alaska; Catch Accounting in 

the Longline Catcher/Processor Pacific 

Cod Fishery 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice of public workshop. 

SUMMARY: NMFS announces a workshop 

to solicit input from owners and 

operators of longline catcher/processors 

(freezer longliners) engaged in the 

Pacific cod fisheries off Alaska. The 

workshop concerns proposed changes to 

equipment and operational 

requirements for monitoring catch 

under a voluntary cooperative. The 

workshop is open to the public, but 

NMFS is particularly seeking 

participation by people who are 

knowledgeable about the operations of 

Pacific cod freezer longliners and who 

can discuss with NMFS the potential 

operational impacts of proposed 

monitoring requirements. 

DATES: The public workshop will be 

held on Tuesday, May 10, 2011, from 

10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Pacific daylight 

savings time. 

ADDRESSES: The workshop will be held 

at the Swedish Cultural Center, 1920 

Dexter Avenue, N., Seattle, WA 98109. 

Directions to the Swedish Cultural 

Center are on its Web site at http:// 

www.swedishculturalcenter.org/ 

contacts.htm. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Alan Kinsolving, 928–774–4362 or 

Jennifer Watson, 907–586–7537. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NMFS is 

developing proposed revisions to 

observer and equipment and operational 

requirements for Pacific cod freezer 

longliners in the Bering Sea and 

Aleutian Islands to support different 

catch accounting methods for Pacific 

cod catch. NMFS is considering 

proposed requirements related to the 

use of motion-compensated flow scales 

to weigh Pacific cod; additional work 

space for observers; video monitoring of 

areas where catch is sorted and 

weighed; and the use of electronic 

logbooks to facilitate timely vessel 

reporting of the Pacific cod for each 

haul. 

This workshop is open to the public, 

but NMFS is particularly seeking input 

from those who work on Pacific cod 

freezer longliners, are familiar with the 

vessel operations, and have knowledge 

of the potential impact of changes in the 

handling of Pacific cod under the 

proposed monitoring requirements. 

Special Accommodations 

The workshop will be physically 

accessible to people with disabilities. 

Requests for sign language 

interpretation or other auxiliary aids 

should be directed to Jennifer Watson, 

907–586–7537, at least 10 working days 

prior to the meeting date.
